Use when positioning an NDSS submission against prior literature — sweeping the security big four plus the specialist venues, writing precise deltas, verifying every citation against NDSS's open proceedings and dblp, and keeping self-reference double-blind.

Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# NDSS Related Work At NDSS the related-work section is a security argument: it establishes that the adversary, the precondition, or the defense you present is genuinely new *at the layer you claim*. The worked example in this pack turns on exactly that move — separating delegation-layer staleness from well-known record-layer takeover. Aim your section at the same standard: distinguish by mechanism, not by adjective. ## Where NDSS reviewers expect you to have looked | Tier | Venues / sources | What you owe them | | --- | --- | --- | | Flagships | NDSS, IEEE S&P, USENIX Security, CCS (last ~3-4 years) | The nearest neighbors and your delta against each | | Specialists | PETS, IMC, ACSAC, RAID, EuroS&P, WOOT | Depth in your sub-area; measurement lineage | | Co-located ecosystem | NDSS workshops (e.g., BAR, USEC, MADWeb — 2026 list verified) | Early-stage versions of your idea often surface here first | | Non-academic record | CVEs, vendor advisories, IETF drafts/RFCs, incident writeups | Whether practitioners already know your "novel" issue | | Preprints | arXiv (cs.CR), IACR ePrint | Concurrent work; cite, date, and differentiate | The non-academic tier is the one academic drafts sk

What does the ndss-related-work skill do?
Use when positioning an NDSS submission against prior literature — sweeping the security big four plus the specialist venues, writing precise deltas, verifying every citation against NDSS's open proceedings and dblp, and keeping self-reference double-blind.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill ndss-related-work --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills, a repository with 909 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
